Bilbo was caught by the three trolls, Tom, Bert and William, when the 13 Dwarves sent him to scout out what the source of the light that they saw in the distance was. Upon seeing the trolls he felt that before he returned to the Dwarves he should steal something that belonged to the Trolls (the Dwarves had previously called Bilbo their 'burglar'.
